Directional isoperimetric inequalities and rational homotopy invariants

Differential Geometry 2008-02-26 v1

Abstract

We estimate the second order linking invariants of Lipschitz maps from an n-dimensional ellipse. The estimate uses a new directionally-dependent version of the isoperimetric inequality for cycles inside the ellipse. Using this work, we prove new lower bounds for the k-dilation of maps from one ellipse to another.
